Monotone's Brian Cross

Name a manager not in your company whom you admire.
Jonathan Eshak. He’s a thoughtful manager. One of the best to do it.

Describe your all-time favorite photo, memento or tchotchke from your job.
Chris Tomson from Vampire Weekend made a personalized photo book of all the photos he took where I was included on the band’s second album tour. That one really stuck with me.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
Marsha Vlasic once told me to focus on putting artists in the right room, at the right time, at the right price, especially in major markets, and not to get caught up chasing short-game checks. She said the money always comes from doing the next right thing and I’ve found that advice to be true.
